Monopoly: Who owns the world?

Discussion in 'Economics' started by BKR88, Aug 28, 2022.

  1. Fascinating. So... if this is the world you live in - and I can assure you, from broad and varied experience, that very few Americans share it with you - you obviously include yourself in this inescapable process? Shit education, shit brains, and all? That would explain quite a lot.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Tell me... who, in this apocalyptic (seriously bad drugs, or lack of professional mental health care? Only you'd know) vision of yours has the money for weapons and power to exercise force? Since you haven't noticed, it's not the 12th century anymore, and the peasants with pitchforks and torches marching on the castle won't achieve much. Worse yet for your "cause", the "peasants" are so wealthy nowadays that none of them - testosterone-crazy teens excepted - will risk so much as a misdemeanor charge, much less charge an armed and ready enemy. Some of the population - the perpetual losers, the incompetents, and so on - will talk a ton of shit (gosh, where have we seen that recently?), but since their incompetence was the issue in the first place, they'll never amount to anything more than a tiny statistical error. Noise, nothing more.

    In the real world - where we live in a country with the highest levels of access to food, shelter, health care, technology, and wealth in the entirety of human history - the only place you'll find these imaginary revolutionaries of yours is in nicely-padded rooms, muttering to themselves. Perhaps you should, you know, join them for a nice long chat about your shared beliefs and goals.

    The rest of us would be quite grateful if you left us alone... there are quite enough muttering crazies around any time we want that kind of "conversation."

    ElCubano and Sprout like this.
  2. %%
    There are some grains of truth;
    FB , TWTR [censors]+ zucker bucks election censors deserve every downtick on the charts + still going down. At the rate they they are going ''they could own nothing'' + be unhappy by 2030 or sooner. Not a prediction.
    Plenty of dumb stuff on the vide.; i only watched about 10%.
    As if EV + dirty batteries, John Lenin[i mean Lennon] will help clean everything UP/LOL??
    There are some common sense things on there, but he seems to be alarmed on common sense stuff; like commons sense says dont get in a mob + start pushing policeman:caution::caution:

    Your intellect is apparently way too naive to grasp what I was talking about. Go on and live your virtual AMERICAN DREAM, lol. The country you live in does not score in ANY category in even the top 10, often times not even in the top 30, other than military spending and might. The American middle class is hollowed out and lives off mass produced Chinese shit products for lack of affordability of anything better. Two full-time household incomes are an absolute must, not an option, to just get by. And then when you look at the bottom line, healthcare cost, educational cost of any children are not even accounted for.

    If reading my post stressed you out this much then perhaps you should just skip over it instead of displaying your shortsightedness and naivete to everyone in public. Or just go back and masturbate while listening to your national anthem and marveling at your constitution that you apparently are so beholden to.

  4. :D:D:D I understand that you'd find it complimentary to your stunted, damaged, shriveled ego if someone in this world cared enough to get stressed, or be in some way affected by the garbage you spout. Sorry, you've missed this time... give it another 20 or 30 years, and somebody may turn up. But I doubt it; people don't normally get affected by the sound of a flushing toilet.

    Go back to kneeling, bobbing, and gagging in front of the statues of Marx and Lenin you keep in the basement where you live. It's likely that gargling with bleach and ammonia will get that taste of bronze out of the back of your throat... nothing will get rid of that psychotic jealousy of the free world, though.

    You need to expand your mind.

    I thought so, only unfettered capitalism and Marxism exist. Never heard of social market economies. No surprise then regarding your response. It's called lack of education or intellect. Choose one.

    Funny how everyone who complains about wasting their time happily pick up on the issue and waste their time. ;-)

    I wrote in direct response to the thread topic. Many (not all) other responses are off topic and utterly unrelated.

    I am totally on the same page as Carlin. In case you did not yourself watch the clip he talks exactly about the same aberrations in American society that plague America today and that I pointed out. He just put it much more eloquently and said so 30 or 40 years earlier.

  10. For a microcephalic psycho like you, whose basic position is that of screaming, vomiting jealousy and hatred for things that he's too brainless to participate in? That's a gimme. Both, of course - assuming I grant you the ability to possess an intellect. Since your animal grunts here haven't indicated any, it's strongly in doubt.

    Don't bother trying to retreat to a different position and pretend like it was yours all along; that just brands you as a gutless coward as well as an ignorant fool. Anyone who wants to discuss a rational position would have started with one. Perhaps your kindergarten teacher will educate you about actual conversations instead of throwing screaming meemie fits... assuming you can convince him to pay attention to what he must have long ago decided is a lost cause.
